The cracked heels, however, were athlete’s foot actually, it would be difficult for you to care by yourself even with over-the-counter medicine. You might want to see a dermatologist as soon as possible in this case.
The difference between dry cracked heels and athlete’s foot is, you will see the skin of the feet bottom gets thick and peeled. You might think that we would feel itchy if you have athlete’s foot, but it is said this is not always the case.
One more thing about athlete’s foot is, it is infective.There are cases that they were actually athlete’s foot even they had thought they were just dry skin, we have to be cautious.

The cracked heels brought by being dry, to keep them moisture is the most important.
Skin will be dry especially after you take a bath, caring of your skin after taking a bath is very important.You might want to use over-the-counter medicine, and you can even use hand cream as the substitute.

Bare feet themselves would be the cause of being dry, and moreover this innervates heels directly which let cuticle of heels solid. Carrying yourself, friction with the floor, these things will bring cornification.
Decreasing stress on your heels will be one of the ways to avoid cracked heels.
You might want to wear socks even when it is hot since your skin would be dry in rooms being cooled by air conditioners.
